Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?




Life is much too short to sit and wonder
Who's gonna make the next move and will slowly pull you under when you've always got something to prove?

I don't want to wait a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
Your lifeline, your lifeline
The lifeline, your lifeline

You say that I misheard you but I think you misspoke
I hear you laugh so loudly while I patiently await the joke

I could hold out for a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
Your lifeline, your lifeline, the lifeline
Your life...

It's a crime with only victims
We're all laid out in a row
It's hardest to listen to what we already should know

I don't want to waist a lifetime
Not yours, not mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
Your lifeline, the lifeline
Your lifeline, your lifeline
The lifeline, your life... your life... line.

Io lo so che non sono solo anche quando sono solo




Io lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo
io lo so che non sono solo
io lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo

sotto un cielo di stelle e di satelliti
tra i colpevoli le vittime e i superstiti
un cane abbaia alla luna
un uomo guarda la sua mano
sembra quella di suo padre
quando da bambino
lo prendeva come niente e lo sollevava su
era bello il panorama visto dall'alto
si gettava sulle cose prima del pensiero
la sua mano era piccina ma afferrava il mondo intero
ora la città è un film straniero senza sottotitoli
le scale da salire sono scivoli, scivoli, scivoli
il ghiaccio sulle cose
la tele dice che le strade son pericolose
ma l'unico pericolo che sento veramente
è quello di non riuscire più a sentire niente
il profumo dei fiori l'odore della città
il suono dei motorini il sapore della pizza
le lacrime di una mamma le idee di uno studente
gli incroci possibili in una piazza
di stare con le antenne alzate verso il cielo
io lo so che non sono solo

io lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo
io lo so che non sono solo
e rido e piango e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango
io lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo
io lo so che non sono solo
e rido e piango e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango

la città un film straniero senza sottotitoli
una pentola che cuoce pezzi di dialoghi
come stai quanto costa che ore sono
che succede che si dice chi ci crede
e allora ci si vede
ci si sente soli dalla parte del bersaglio
e diventi un appestato quando fai uno sbaglio
un cartello di sei metri dice tutto è intorno a te
ma ti guardi intorno e invece non c'è niente
un mondo vecchio che sta insieme solo grazie a quelli che
hanno ancora il coraggio di innamorarsi
e una musica che pompa sangue nelle vene
e che fa venire voglia di svegliarsi e di alzarsi
smettere di lamentarsi
che l'unico pericolo che senti veramente
è quello di non riuscire più a sentire niente
di non riuscire più a sentire niente
il battito di un cuore dentro al petto
la passione che fa crescere un progetto
l'appetito la sete l'evoluzione in atto
l'energia che si scatena in un contatto

io lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo
io lo so che non sono solo
e rido e piango e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango
io lo so che non sono solo
anche quando sono solo
io lo so che nn sono solo
e rido e piango e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango

e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango

e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango

e mi fondo con il cielo e con il fango

Don't you wanna just curve away when it's such a perfect day?


They were sitting,
They were sitting in the strawberry swing
Every moment was so precious

They were sitting,
They were talking in the strawberry swing
And everybody was for fighting
Wouldn't wanna waste a thing

Cold, cold water
Bring me 'round
Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water
What you say?
It's such,
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

I remember
We were walking up to strawberry swing
I can't wait 'til the morning
Wouldn't wanna change a thing

People moving all the time
Inside a perfectly straight line
Don't you wanna just curve away
When it's such,
It's such a perfect day
It's such a perfect day

Ahhhh....

Now the sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time
Could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time

The sky could be blue, could be gray
Without you I just slide away
The sky could be blue, I don't mind
Without you it's a waste of time

If I only knew your name, I'd go from door to door




If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
I’ve met just once before

One night of love
Nothing more nothing less
One night of love
To put my head in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand
And it came off in the rain

One night of love
Nothing more nothing less
One night of love
Has left my bed in a mess
Is that you on the bus?
Is that you on the train?
You wrote your number on my hand
And it came off in the rain

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Tell me have you seen the girl
I’ve met just once before

Woah-Oh-Oh

Young Love
Never seems to last
Far too young
Until they have a past
Playing games
People move so fast
You don’t need eyes to see
If someone's got a heart of glass

Young Love
Never seems to last
Far too young
Until they have a past
One night of love
Nothing more nothing less
One night of love
Has left my heart in a mess

If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door
Searching all the crowded streets
For the place that I once saw
If I only knew your name
I’d go from door to door

Tell me have you seen the boy
I’ve met just once before

Woah-Oh-Oh

If I see you in my mind, I'll say to you it's not your fault




You put a note in my pocket
Said “be good to yourself” and that was all
Life being what it is
We all dream of revenge
Open your eyes for a second
Just to roll them at me

I stared straight into the sun
Something to concentrate on

Oooo oooo

And if you turn it on you’d find
I’ve written you a thousand times
You would do anything
You’d give up everything for
God knows why

I just can’t stay till your gone
I won’t wish you well
I won’t see you off
I won’t try to call, if I see you in my mind
I'll say to you it’s not your fault

You said I’ll see you in September
But that’s not long enough for me
You put a note in my pocket
So it would take care of me
But that was all

Hold me closer tiny dancer, count the headlights on the highway




Blue jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But oh how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you, and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly

chorus:
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
you had a busy day today

[repeat chorus]
